The Company, as part of its efforts to advance the development of its flagship La Josefina project, has engaged Senior Metallurgist, Byron ‘Barney’ Darnton, who has evaluated the last 2 metallurgical tests conducted on the La Josefina property. Mr. Darnton will be our chief advisor regarding the metallurgy on the projects, going forward.

Mr. Darnton is a Metallurgical Engineer, having most recently served at the Kinross Buckhorn Mine in NE Washington State, as well as the Fort Knox Mine in Alaska. Previously, Mr. Darnton had worked with Stillwater Mining, Molycorp Inc., Pegasus Gold, Montana Tunnels Mining, and others as a metallurgist and senior metallurgist.

Hunt Mining has identified over 150,000 ounces of oxidized gold equivalent at a depth of less than 75 meters, and is now involved in the development of those resources.

Hunt Mining Corp. has continued to develop its properties as an active and aggressive explorer in Santa Cruz since 2006. During that time, Hunt's wholly owned subsidiary, Cerro Cazador S.A., has completed exploration activity including approximately 62,000 meters of HQ core drilling, 416 line kilometers of Induced Polarization geophysical surveys and more than 20,000 surface soil, sediment, channel, chip, and trench samples, beyond the historical work previous to the same properties.
